I forgot my password months ago and never bothered to reset it. Momentarily back. What’s your best case for coming back to Twitter?

@RealAtheology I appreciate you all leading the way in being honest about not being in a good place. I admire that. Praying for you all and wishing you the best

In our polarizing culture, there is increasing pressure to love your tribe and demonize the opposition. One way to reflect Jesus: never withhold love or friendship out of fear of association. Be kind to everyone and utterly disregard the sociological fallout.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

A true ecological approach always becomes a social approach that must integrate justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. #SeasonOfCreation

@bornagainrn Wright is couching this within a larger discussion of reframing our use of the words “Gospel” and “justification.” For Wright, gospel isn’t shorthand for how one is saved but the announcement of the lordship of Jesus.

“It cannot be right that the very doctrine that declares all who believe in Jesus belong at the same table (Galatians 2) should be used as a way of saying that some, who define the doctrine of justification differently, belong at a different table.” -NT Wright

@Theheartofgold3 Hello! Thanks for reaching out. This is a very fair question. I’m open to having such a conversation, but I have not identified a guest that I think would be a person that is both knowledgeable on the topic and a nuanced, empathetic communicator. Any recommendations?

In 2020 we all thought we were running a marathon. Just when we thought we were finished, someone handed us a bike and bathing suit. Then 2021 revealed that actually, it's not just a triathlon, it's an Ironman.
